🚀 Quick Start Guide

📦 Prerequisites

Step 1: Unbox & Wire (10 min)

Each kit includes a wiring diagram card. Connect sensors to the LicheeRV-Nano board following the numbered pins.

Step 2: Connect to Network (5 min)

Option A: WiFi

# Power on the board. It creates a temporary AP: PicoClaw-XXXX
# Connect your phone to the AP, open 192.168.4.1
# Enter your WiFi credentials and save
# The board will restart and connect to your network

Option B: Ethernet

# Plug in an Ethernet cable — DHCP auto-connects
# Find the IP: check your router's DHCP table
# Or scan: nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24

Option C: 4G

# Insert SIM card into SIM7600 module before powering on
# PicoClaw auto-detects the 4G connection
# Internet-connected immediately

Step 3: Configure PicoClaw (5 min)

# SSH into the board
ssh root@<board-ip>
# Default password: picoclaw

# Edit the configuration
nano /etc/picoclaw/config.json

Key configuration sections:

{
  "llm": {
    "provider": "openai",
    "api_key": "sk-your-api-key-here",
    "model": "gpt-4o-mini"
  },
  "channels": {
    "telegram": {
      "enabled": true,
      "bot_token": "123456:ABC-DEF...",
      "allowed_users": [123456789]
    }
  },
  "edge": {
    "enabled": true,
    "node_id": "my-datacenter-01",
    "node_group": "datacenter-monitoring",
    "cloud": {
      "url": "https://openclaw.example.com",
      "api_key": "your-cloud-key"
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Install a Skill (1 min)

# List available skills
picoclaw skills list

# Install a scenario-specific skill
picoclaw skills install datacenter-monitoring
# or: greenhouse-automation, aquaculture-monitoring, etc.

# Verify installation
picoclaw skills status

Step 5: Start Monitoring (Instant)

# Start the PicoClaw agent
picoclaw start

# Or send a message via your chat channel:
# "Start monitoring"
# PicoClaw will confirm and begin its sensor reading cycle
